My Xbox Series S console has been randomly shutting itself down, possibly due to overheating.
In this video I disassemble the console, clear all the dust from the insides and then reassemble. So far so good!
It's quite easy to do, surprisingly so. Even all the different screws are colour coded!

On the sides of the PSU, you will see small arrows; if you push them, you will be able to open it; make sure you check that the power socket is put back between the two holes as you put the two halves together.

Good advice, thank you!

From someone who just tore down my ps5 it is impressive how Microsoft designed the series s. So simple and well thought out. Now to tackle my series s and then series x for deep cleaning and repaste.

dude you're a life saver, my xbox was having this exact problem with shutting down from apparent overheating and cleaning all the dust out did the trick. thank you so much for this simple tutorial brother, saved me from probably buying another one if this problem persisted

[@michellesunnylatham4046]

I dropped a flower pot next to my daughter's xbox and soil went all inside! I vacuumed out all I could, but when she tried to play, it kept cutting off and then a message about the fan and overheating popped up. THANK YOU so much for this video!!! I am about to get started, so i will let you know how it goes! I had to go buy a T8 bit ($6 for a set of small bits at Walmart), but I'm glad I have them all now! A few seconds of hairdryer heat DID make the stickers easier to come off, too.

Great step by step. I suspected dust in my 2nd hand one which revved up like a hairdryer instead of the famed 'whisper quiet'. The filth and stinking grit I found inside convinced me I was right. Must have been on the floor with 10 dogs and junkies chain-smoking around it for the 2 years before it was passed to Cash Converters - who by the by simply must have switched it on and wiped the data.

Any advice? Mine worked fine until my kid was sick on it. It was cleaned. Now it won’t power on or anything I’ve tried different power cables and am going to follow this video to take it apart. Was wondering if you thought it could be anything else before I clean the fan

[@ANTHONY-rp3ud]

I have this console and in my opinion. It runs hot fresh out of the box. I put my face close to the exhaust fan. And you can really feel the heat coming out of this thing. Based on my research, they say it's designed to run hot due to its small form factor. I purchased an external cooling fan which does help a lot. But I really noticed it to run cooler when I game in 1080P. VS 4K 120 Hz. Thanks for the video now. I know how to take this thing apart.

[@JoeBleeps]

I have found the best way to keep it going is to give it plenty of room for ventilation. Any enclosed space will cause it to overheat and gather dust. I am glad you have found some other ways to keep it cool too!

[@Seemendeemon]

If your Xbox doesn’t need dust cleaning and the fan won’t turn on makes sure to restart the console from settings, then wait and download a game till it forcefully turns on so you can then get rid of it for something else.

[@Aram13451]

thank you so much it works now thanks mate

[@stevenbethel1351]

Good to know. My Xbox series S just shut down for the first time after owning it for a year and half. The fan got really loud loading into a COD lobby, I got nervous and force quit the game and the Xbox flickered then shut off and went silent. Turned it on today tho and silent again so that’s good lol. I notice my Xbox gets loud when I switch between a new gen and old game too sometimes.

[@_DanielPrieto]

6:23 so you didn't change thermal paste, because you wanted to see if it stopped overheating just by cleaning the dust

[@JoeBleeps]

Yeah like most things it's a process of elimination. For a relatively new console I'd generally be optimistic that the paste should still be okay in most cases. If that hadn't fixed the problem though, the paste would have been my next course of action.

[@MikePhotoGuy666]

Yeah me being LAZY AS BLEEP, if I go to to the effort to open the case, clean the fan and have to put er back together---I will just do the Thermal Pasting, or at least check it out BEFORE SEALING IT BACK UP even if I don't think it really needs it. Because I would rather just take the thing apart and put it back together ONCE instead of TWICE but that's from me having to work on the BLEEPING XBOX 360 Slim which was probably THE WORST THING to take apart and put back together ever. Just so many stupid plastic tabs and other crap to try to prevent people from doing their own repairs/tinkering. And sadly, finally no matter what I did I just couldn't keep my 360 Slim from finally Red Ring Of Death on me :( I think I will invest in a good dust cover for the Series S to try to keep dust off of it when I ain't using it so hopefully knock on wood I won't have to go and deep clean the fan all that often.

Noise from a fan is usually just vibrations in the air that's not passing through as smoothly as it should because of the dust build up.

🤣 it's really not too difficult, you've got this

[@user-bw6dp1sf6k]

Any advice? Mine worked fine until my kid was sick on it. It was cleaned. Now it won’t power on or anything I’ve tried different power cables and am going to follow this video to take it apart. Was wondering if you thought it could be anything else before I clean the fan

I'm guessing you might find out when you open it up! 😬 Good luck

Literally just needed all dust cleaning out, works fine now
